All too often, all we really want in life is to fit in. To fit in somewhere, whether it be a certain clique at school or work, with certain family members, or a group of friends. We want to feel a sense of belonging.
But, what if we took some time to look within and find that sense of belonging from inside ourselves? What if we realized that what we are seeking really has nothing to do with anyone or anything outside of ourselves and has EVERYTHING to do with what we are truly seeking from withing?!?!
What is the true source of that feeling of belonging or fitting in?
Is it acceptance? If so, what is it about yourself that you are not accepting?
Is it the need for attention? If so, where are you not giving yourself attention? Are you too focused on your family, school, or work and not being mindful of your time for self-care?
Is it a need to feel loved? If so, how are you not loving yourself?
At the end of the day, everything starts within.
We have to love ourselves ...
We have to be honest with ourselves ...
We have to trust within ourselves ...
We have to accept ourselves (And all of our faults. Remember, no one is perfect!) ...
We have to take time to pamper ourselves ...
We have to be true to ourselves ...
We have to make peace with ourselves ...
Before we can give these out to anyone else and before we can allow them from someone else. If we don't make things right within ourselves, first and foremost, we truly never make them right ...
"Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have." - Doris Mortman
